Answer:

Her answer is not correct because the sum cannot be less than either addend.

The correct answer is \frac{179}{180}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression to add is given as:

\frac{17}{18}+\frac{1}{20}

Alaina got the answer as \frac{18}{38}

Let us first try to add the fractions and arrive at the answer.

Taking LCD of 18 and 20, we get LCD = 180

Now, making denominators of each fraction equal to 180 and changing the numerators accordingly.

=\frac{17\times 10}{18\times 10}+\frac{1\times 9}{20\times 9}\\=\frac{170}{180}+\frac{9}{180}\\=\frac{170+9}{180}=\frac{179}{180}

Therefore, the result of Alaina is not correct because she got an answer which is less than the fraction \frac{17}{18}. But when we add two fractions, the result must be greater than either of the addend.

Therefore, her answer is not correct because the sum cannot be less than either addend.

Answer:

4√3 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

30 60 90 right triangle

The ratio of short leg : long leg :   hypo. = x : x√3 :2x

Given Hypo BC = 4 = 2 * 2

so Long leg = 2√3

Area of ABC = 1/2 (b)(h)

= 1/2 (4)(2√3)

= 4√3

Answer

4√3 cm^2

Perimeter = 3 x 4 = 12 cm (you asked from other, so I answered for you as well)

A set of equations is given below:
Zanzabum
The answer is:  [A]:  "No solution" .
_______________________________________________
Note:  Given:
_______________________________________________
  y = 4x + 8 ;
  y = 4x + 2 ;
_______________________________________________

Since:  "y = y" ;

4x + 8 = 4x + 2 ; which is not true;
______________________________
 4x  +  8  ≠  4x  +  2 ;  since,  "8  ≠ 2" ;

Note:  Suppose:  "4x + 8 = 4x + 2" ; 

→ Subtract "4x" from each side of the equation:

4x + 8 − 4x  = 4x + 2 − 4x ;

to get:
_________________
 " 8 = 2 " ;  not true ; since  "8 ≠ 2" ;
______________________________
Also, suppose:
_______________________________
 4x + 8 = 4x + 2 ;

→ Subtract "2" from BOTH SIDES of the equation;

4x + 8 − 2 = 4x + 2 − 2 ;

to get:

4x + 6 = 4x

(Note:  "4x + 0 = 4x" ;  but "4x + 6 ≠ 4x") l

But even if we have:

4x + 6 = 4x ;

→ Subtract "4x" from EACH side of the equation:

4x + 6 − 4x  = 4x − 4x ;

to get:

   6 = 0 ; which is not true;  "6 ≠ 0" . 
____________________________________
The correct answer is:  [A]:  "No solution" .
